     I am pretty "connected" to myself; very aware of how I am feeling and why I am feeling a certain way (good or bad although, I am almost always feeling good ).  Someone once said to me, "You know yourself so well."   I

     The reason doesn’t really matter why, however, I think one of the reasons is because I pay attention and truly "absorb" what is being said.  I really listen to myself and to others whether it be words, body language, what have you. 

      Anyhow, I have been very annoyed with myself lately for not making the progress I want.   I have had some difficulty with my diet lately - nothing too terrible (long story) and although my workouts and cardio are consistant, my head is just not there.  Regardless, I think about my diet, fitness and working out constantly.  The desire to improve is ALWAYS there - even in my dreams!!!

      I was just telling a friend here that I don’t remember any of my dreams from last night but a line from the movie  "Miss Congeniality" came to mind….."SEE the change, FEEL the change, BE the change.  You ARE the change."

     I have been thinking SO MUCH lately about how VERY MUCH I want to be better that it even enters my sleep!  lol. 

     Just a real quick blog about a thought/question I had.

     My legs and glutes are very stubborn and seeminly resistant to develop.  I train them 2x/wk but am unable to do squats b/c of a shoulder/delt/neck problem.  Instead, I do LOTS of leg extensions, walking lunges, ball squats with weights and lying leg curls (but with an attachment - kind of awkward, clumsy and difficult to do).

      Anyhow, I have noticed some improvement in my quads, hammies and glutes lately and was wondering if all the cardio I do (35 mins 7 or 8x/wk on an incline) could be helping in the progress of those muscles. 

      I’m sure it IS helping but it seems that lately they have improved moreso than usual.  Wish I knew what I was doing that seems to be working….I would do it MORE!!!!!  lol
